Man Discovers Special Surprise in Car Suspension Spring
By Amanda Schallert, Thu, July 03, 2014
A small kitten who got stuck in the suspension spring of a stranger's car in Russia has been rescued and adopted.
Vitaliy Bouranin said he heard odd sounds coming from his car when he was driving along a highway in Sakhalin, a Russian island. The noises were coming from a small cat that had crawled beneath his car and gotten trapped, according to the Huffington Post.
Bouranin said he traveled for about 50 miles and sometimes was driving at about 80 miles per hour while the kitten was unknowingly in his car.
Mechanics were able to remove the kitten safely from the suspension spring, and said the cat was still calm.
A man who lives in the area, Vladimir Kazakov, and his wife have adopted the kitten and named it "Peach."

reviews & comments (11)
I first made this cake several years ago for a party, and it was a huge hit. I make it occasionally for special occasions. It requires a little bit of patience, or the cake can become flat and lifeless. I brush the cake with frangelico or chambord and fill with raspberry instead of apricot.
I love classic Viennese style cakes and enjoyed this one. I had never made buttercream before and found this process quite easy to do (I usually find pastry cream frustrating). I left out 1/3 of the sugar throughout and the sweetness was just right for me. The overall flavor is light and delicate. I decided to slice the cake into three layers and fill with a little whipped cream (barely sweetened) to help balance the heavier buttercream.
Very "old european" type dessert. Classic standard that is fairly easy to make and looks great on the table. Serve with whipped cream topped turkish coffee.
This is as close to the recipe passed down in my family from my Magyar (Hungarian) great grandmother!
OK but not great. Flavor one-dimensional: overpowering hazelnut. Lacks complexity of typical Central European tortes. Apricot preserves not enough. Would retry with the following modifications: two layers of apricot preserves, lemon added to apricot preserves for more tartness, brandy or GRand Marnier added to buttercream.
It seemed like it took forever for me to make this cake and it was surprisingly disappointing when I tasted it. The cake was dry and the frosting was very soft (almost runny). I've made sure that I threw my copy of this recipe away so that I won't mistakenly make it again.
Time-consuming, but definitely worth it. This is hazelnut cake at its hazelnuttiest best.
my brother-in-law lives in budapest and gave us a bottle of Tokay dessert wine, as mentioned in the article about this torte. i made it for a lunch party and served it and the wine as dessert. my husband, who is not particularly generous with praise, called the combination "exquisite". now i have to get more of that wine!

Want to find out what your upcoming hospital stay will cost?
Good luck.
Hospitals use a mysterious billing system in which charges aren't publicly posted – and bear no resemblance to what most patients and insurance companies wind up paying. The bills that hospitals send patients, meanwhile, are often hard to decipher.
This lack of transparency makes it all but impossible for patients to comparison shop or to effectively question prices. It also helps hospitals make more money, experts say.
"No one knows or can understand the prices a hospital charges, so it makes it much easier for them to increase their prices with no one looking," said Gerard Anderson, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Hospital Finance and Management.
Charges dwarf actual costs
In the arcane world of hospital billing, the charges for most procedures far exceed what it costs to perform them.
Full charges in the Charlotte region are, on average, about three times as high as costs, according to federal data.
Hospital officials say that for most patients, charges are meaningless. That's because hospitals provide large discounts to private health insurers, while Medicare and Medicaid pay based on rates set by the government.
In that sense, hospital charges resemble the hotel rack rates that almost no one pays.
But here's the rub: Some patients and insurers do get stuck paying the full charge, or something close to it. Among them are uninsured patients who earn too much to qualify for charity care.
"It's the conscientious working people who get screwed," says Tom Getzen, who heads the International Health Economics Association.
Most hospitals offer discounts to uninsured patients who don't qualify for charity care. But even after providing such discounts, hospitals can profit handsomely.
At Catawba Valley Medical Center in Hickory, for instance, an uninsured patient who doesn't qualify for charity care can get a 25 percent discount off the full charges if he or she pays immediately.
That would bring a $20,000 hospital bill down to $15,000. But on a typical hospital stay, even that would amount to more than twice what the hospital spent to provide care.
At hospitals run by Carolinas HealthCare System, uninsured patients who don't qualify for charity care get a 40 percent discount. At the three Presbyterian hospitals in Mecklenburg County, the uninsured discount is 30 percent.
Officials for area hospitals say they don't make money on such patients because many never pay their bills.
Paying full freight
At most hospitals, charges are increasing rapidly. That means bills for the uninsured – and for some other patients – are also rising fast.
Among those hurt most by the growing charges:
• Motorists. Car insurance carriers routinely pay full hospital charges. So rising charges contribute to rising premiums.
• Employers. Under North Carolina law, workers' compensation insurers can't get a discount of more than 25 percent from hospitals. That leaves employers paying more for coverage.
• Taxpayers. Until recently, North Carolina paid 100 percent of billed charges for state prison inmates who received hospital care. Under a new law, the hospitals can receive either 70 percent of charges or twice the amount paid by Medicaid. That still allows them a substantial profit.
Presbyterian Hospital charged the state $204 each time it performed an EKG test on two prison inmates in 2010, according to bills examined by the Observer. The average cost of an EKG to the hospital is less than one-eighth that amount – $23, according to the American Hospital Directory.
Higher hospital charges can also translate into higher health insurance premiums. The reason: Most insurance contracts with hospitals include provisions for paying a percentage of billed charges. That's why "it matters what they charge," said Jarvis Leigh, Aetna's top hospital contract negotiator in the Carolinas.
All of this, experts say, gives hospitals a strong inducement to boost their charges.
"Every incentive is for the hospitals to charge as much as possible," said Jason Beans, who examines medical bills for payers. "It's driving up our costs drastically."
Patients with insurance have a "bodyguard" who negotiates on their behalf, Beans said.
"The people who do not – their lives can be absolutely ruined by it," he said.

In a unique and complex example of "science diplomacy," teams of U.S. and Swedish scientists are sailing this month aboard two research vessels to study the ecology of the Amundsen Sea, one of the least-explored and most productive bodies in Antarctic waters, and to gauge the potential effects of a changing climate on the Southern Ocean.
The joint American and Swedish expedition, involving the U.S. icebreaking research vessel Nathaniel B. Palmer and the Swedish icebreaker Oden, was cooperatively planned and is being carried out by the National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs and the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat (SPRS).
The research brings together a multidisciplinary group of scientists within a wide spectrum of scientific areas, including persistent pollutants and greenhouse gases, the ecology of invasive species, epidemiology among seals and microbial ecology, and the physics of sea ice and oceanography.
The cruise will give a unique opportunity to perform research in one of the least-studied areas of the Antarctic. Findings could have important implications for the future of the Antarctic marine ecosystem, as the number of polynyas in Antarctic waters can be expected to increase in a warming climate. Polynya, derived from a Russian word, means an area of open ocean surrounded by ice.
The Palmer sailed from Punta Arenas, Chile on Nov. 26 and the Oden left Punta Arenas on Dec. 8. The two vessels are expected to rendezvous in mid-December.

Police traced a text message from a convicted drug dealer and were able to arrested four suspects and seize about 30,000 methamphetamine pills and four kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine at their hideout, a Post Today report said.
Suwan Kraho, Naphassorn Wattana-Hiraphong, Thitiwat Nonthapoo and Sethawuth Leelalai were arrested after the jailed drug dealer contacted them via the popular Line smartphone application.
The message from the convict, serving time in Nakhon Ratchasima prison, was for the group to pick up the drugs from a certain location and hide them in Suwan's home.

text: By Bill O'Neil A sign of what's to come for San Antonio businesses struggling with the city's growing pains? City Council has approved a pilot program to provide loans to businesses along Blanco Road--which are behind on their utility bills as a result odf continuing construction alogn a portion of the roadway. "In a scramble to figure out what to do to save these busineses, this is the best we've come up with, given the amount of time we've got--and given the urgency of the situation with these businesses" said Councilman Diego Bernal in supporting the program. But those backing the loans were far from the unanimous voice at City Hall. "It puts us on a pth as a city in saying we're going to fill that gap--or we're lookign to fill that gap" said Councilman Ron Nirenberg, uncomfortable with the message being sent to businesses by the project--especially when it comes to projects such as the one on Blanco Raod--which is moving along on schedule. About two-dozen businsses may take advantage of the loan offers.

UniCredit SpA (UCG), Italy's biggest bank, said first-quarter profit rose 13 percent as higher trading income related to the buyback of its securities offset a drop in fees and lending.
Net income climbed to 914 million euros ($1.18 billion) from 810 million euros a year earlier, the Milan-based company said in a statement today. That beat the 832 million-euro average estimate of 10 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Chief Executive Officer Federico Ghizzoni is cutting costs and reviewing the bank's strategy in central and eastern Europe as part of a plan approved in November to strengthen finances and boost profit. The lender raised 7.5 billion euros in a rights offer in January to meet capital targets set by the European Banking Authority.
The results "look better than expected and this is mainly due to low quality items like trading gains and lower-than- expected provisions," analysts at Fidentiis Equities wrote in a note to clients today.
UniCredit said it posted a 477 million-euro net gain from the buyback of 1.3 billion euros of bonds and 473 million pounds ($765 million) of securities completed in February.
Net interest income dropped to 3.8 billion euros in the quarter from about 3.9 billion euros a year earlier, while net fees declined 6 percent to about 2 billion euros. Loan-loss provisions dropped to 1.4 billion euros from 1.5 billion euros a year ago. The lender cut 1,077 jobs in first quarter, in line with the firm's business plan, it said in a slide presentation on its website.
'Ahead of Schedule'
The bank's core Tier 1 ratio, a key measure of financial health, rose to 10.3 percent as of March 31 from a pro-forma 9.97 percent at the end of December, which included the share sale completed in January.
UniCredit rose 7 percent to 2.85 euros at 3:40 p.m. in Milan, giving the company a market value of 16.5 billion euros. The Bloomberg Banks and Financial Services Index gained 2 percent, to bring its increase to 1 percent this year, compared with UniCredit's 33 percent decline.
"Thanks to capital strengthening measures such as the subordinated bonds buyback, we are ahead of schedule of our 2012 Basel III common equity target," Ghizzoni, 56, said in the statement. "UniCredit showed a strong net profit evolution, an improved liquidity position and good progress in implementing the strategic plan."
The lender, which requested 26 billion euros in the ECB's two longer-term refinancing operations, has completed 44 percent of its 31 billion-euro funding need for 2012, of which 51 percent is related to Italy, the company said. Deposits grew 2 percent in the quarter, improving the bank's liquidity, it said.
Dividend Surprise
The first-quarter results may lead to a "likely positive dividend surprise," Mediobanca analysts wrote in a note to clients today.
First-quarter profit before taxes more than tripled in Italy because of higher revenue and lower costs.
"Business refocusing is well under way, with Italy continuing to show positive progress," UniCredit said in the statement. Revenue at the Italian business rose 4.2 percent on an annual basis to 2.6 billion euros, operating costs dropped 4.7 percent to 1.4 billion euros and loan-loss provisions increased 1 percent to 935 million euros.
Central and eastern Europe, the region including Poland, Russia and Turkey, contributed half of UniCredit's recurring net operating profit in the quarter. Profit advanced 2 percent to 563 million euros as declining revenue was offset by lower charges for bad loans. Earnings in Turkey fell 16 percent due to lower fee income and higher risk charges. Russian earnings advanced 8 percent, while Polish profit declined 3 percent, the company said.
Ghizzoni is focusing investments on countries with the biggest and most profitable units in the emerging economies of Europe, where UniCredit is the largest lender. He has named Russia, Poland, Turkey and the Czech Republic as "growth engines," while putting expansion plans in Hungary and Romania on hold and not ruling out the sale of units in some of the 15 formerly communist countries.
Unlike rivals including OTP Bank Nyrt., Erste Group Bank AG and Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI), UniCredit has remained profitable in Hungary. First-quarter earnings benefited from writebacks of provisions it earlier had made against losses there.
The only unprofitable countries in the region for UniCredit in the quarter were Kazakhstan and the Baltics.

Back in the late 1980's, I was offered a job in the panhandle of Florida, working at a pair of radio stations owned by the people for whom I was working at the time. The town was about 30 miles from the beach; I loved taking vacations in Florida and thought this would be a great thing to do. My wife and I packed up everything we owned and moved to the small town of De Funiak Springs, FL. It didn't take long for us to feel a bit out of place. We were used to living in larger cities with plenty of choices for whatever we wanted and, essentially, a completel
This week I saw two very different movies that had more in common than one may expect. First, there's the new Disney animated feature "Tangled," which is a retelling of the fairy tale Repunzel. Second, there's the real-life story of Aron Ralston in Danny Boyle's "127 Hours." Both main characters are forced to make difficult decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Of course, one does it with computer animation and show tunes while the other uses hallucinations and a dull knife. To each their own.
A few years ago, I made the mistake of believing something I saw on a TV infomercial. I should have known better, but it really seemed like something that would solve a problem I had, so I bought the item. It was a solar-powered device hung in your car window that would suck out hot air and keep the temperature inside your closed up vehicle at something more reasonable. When you got in your car at the end of a long, hot summer day, it wouldn't be as unbearable. When it arrived, I was very excited to finally solve this problem quickly assembled the magical devic
Anyone who has known me for a while or has read my reviews knows I'm a science-fiction fan. While my tastes are somewhat narrow you can pique my interest in a movie or TV show if you tell me it has some sci-fi elements. I'm more than willing to give anything with spaceships, aliens, ray guns, quantum singularities, supernovas and anything else otherworldly and fantastical more than a fair chance to impress me. At the same time, you can't slap funny nose or extended forehead on an actor, say he's from another planet, and just expect me to roll over a
Is it nature or nurture that decides the kind of person we are? There are perfectly valid arguments on both sides of the debate and no one really knows for sure. There is statistical evidence that people who are physically and emotionally abused as children are as adults more likely to be abusive to their children. Of course, there are people who never experienced any kind of abuse in their formative years who are cruel and evil people as adults. The question remains: Is it how you are treated or your brain chemistry that decides your course in life? And
Some folks take on way too many projects, jobs and tasks for their own good. For instance, my wife has a full-time job, records books for the blind and dyslexic, volunteers at hospice, sings with two community choruses and is the chapter mother for her college fraternity. I'm not sure how she does it all and, sometimes, she doesn't either; however, she never lets her responsibilities overwhelm her. While the pressures and frustrations of being a teenager may pale in comparison to being an adult, it doesn't feel that way to the teen. When we grow up,
As a child, I always loved Halloween. It was the one time of year I was allowed to eat candy with complete abandon. It was also fun to pick out my costume from the nearby discount store. Would I be a spaceman or a cowboy or a cartoon character? The choice was nearly overwhelming. I was always accompanied on my treat-gathering mission by a parent, usually my mom. When I was about 10, I was allowed to go out on my own. I felt like such a grownup, walking through my neighborhood after dark …dressed as an astronaut. I was nearly back to my
Have you ever done anything that, in retrospect, was completely stupid? One of my earliest memories is pulling a chair up to our kitchen stove, standing on it and touching the pretty, red spiral on the top. Of course, what I got from this was burned fingers and the knowledge that touching a stove eye when it was on was a bad idea. A few years later, I decided to see what would happen if I touched the prongs of an electrical plug while it was still in the socket. It took just one shock for me to understand this was also a bad idea.
How desperate would you have to be to steal something that didn't belong to you? I'm not talking about something physical; I mean an idea. If you needed a terrific presentation to give at a staff meeting and overheard a discussion in your office of someone else's plan, would you take it, change a few things and present it as your own? Since it's merely an idea and you bring your own spin to it, flesh it out and make it unique, how wrong can it be? If that idea is Facebook, as it is in this week's movie "The Social Network," i

I contacted them and they said I wasn't too late and asked for pictures. She said they were looking for gardens to film for a Miracle Grow shoot and would send an NBC film crew and give you Miracle Grow products as a thank you. I sent them pictures and never heard a word back either. I wonder if they're looking for flower gardens due to the Miracle Grow, I grow ornamentals so might not have what they're looking for...plus it's the middle of winter and stuff is not at it's prettiest, lol.

It seems like they should film in early fall here in FL or maybe late spring. Early fall is when my yard is really popping. |
I was shooting for composition. If they wanted flowers they should have said so. I guess that shot of the pond plants wasn't what they were looking for either haha. |

Still trying to figure out things and this time it's making words. I have gotten monograms down to a science with my 4X4 pes format on PE-150. When I use font designs that I have purchased, I can just make my center letter and then do my other two letters one at a time on either side without having to change my positioning of my item to embroider. But what I cannot figure out is how to write words. I understand how to do it with the pre-programed fonts in my machine, and I have tried reading about it online, but somehow I'm missing something...either in my brain, my machine, or my purchased design!! When I load the fonts into my machine from my Ultimate box card, they can only be used one at a time in my machine. In other words, I can't program the entire word to sew out, even if it is in the 4x4 area size. Each letter has to be reset and a postion chosen and when I line them up by last ending stitch of last letter, there is overlapping. Anyone have suggestions or know what I may be doing wrong. Would love to think of embroidering poetry someday, but for now I would be happy with just a name! Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
What you are needing is editing software to do what you want to do. I have Edit & Stitch by Amazing Designs, which works great for me. I am sure there are many others that work well, but this is the only software that I am familiar with. You bring each letter into your design in the software and position where you want it, save the design on your computer and then you can take the whole designed name into your Ultimate Box and then on to your machine. I do believe there is a trial version of this software that you can try out for a month. It can be found at www.amazingdesigns.com. When you get to the page, click on embroidery software on the left hand side. I think Edit & Stitch 2.0 is the newest version. If you basically want to do only personalization, then maybe Personalize & Stitch would be a better option. However, if you want to do different things with designs (the website will explain the differences) then I think maybe Edit & Stitch would be the one. Good Luck! |

Yesterday was a day I had been awaiting with a mixture of hope and fear. Diageo finally announced the pricing and the bottle design of their new Mortlach range.
Back in January I reported the news that the whisky.com domain had been sold to German retailer The Whisky Store. Now the details of the deal have been made public by the seller.
Let's try to put together some puzzle pieces that have emerged in the recent blog carnival about NAS whisky.
The development of a controversial trend
The last years have seen quite a change in the fomerly so conservative whisky business. I see three major trends, and I must admit that none of them makes me happy.
Yesterday Diageo published their sales figures for the second half of 2013. They were worse than expected.
A few days ago, after a hard day's work, I had the sudden desire to pour myself a dram of Laphroaig Cask Strength. There was just a tiny little problem. I had no Laphroaig Cask Strength.
Yesterday on Facebook I was pointed to the fact that the whisky.com domain apparently had changed ownership.
Last year I took a closer look at whisky price inflation, This year in particular has seen a different kind of whisky inflation: a steadily rising number of whisky auction companies.
With the latest TV ad for their "The Drinking Man's Scotch" campaign, Dewar's has nominated a promising contender for the PR Fail Of The Year Award 2013.
Burn Stewart Distillers have announced a relaunch of their Black Bottle blend with both product and packaging changed.
The Hammerschmide distillery in Zorge is offering a single malt called The Alrik under their Glen Els whisky brand. Anyone familiar with the distilleries on Islay will notice a striking resemblence of the bottle design to Ardbeg.
In conjunction with 'business accelerator' Independents United, Diageo has launched a new service called Distill Ventures. The company will invest in young spirits businesses to help them grow.
Thoughts on the 2013 Special Releases
Things had become a bit quiet, but now The Dalmore is back, with a set of twelve bottles just barely avoiding the One Million Pound barrier.
Some sensational whisky news is coming out of the Arizona desert. Arizona Distilling Co. in Tempe treats their Copper City Bourbon with a revolutionary process called Cold Filtration.
Originally I was determined to refrain from any further comments on World Whisky Day, but a Huffington Post article by David Robertson rendered my decision obsolete.
It all started with Glenmorangie.since the 1990s the concept of multiple cask maturation of whisky ahs been established in the industry.
Yet another time the issue of investing in whisky resurfaces. In a way this is starting to get tiresome, but I believe this news is too important to be ignored.
A new online shop for spirits has been launched by Diageo. Alexander & James is named after Alexander Walker and James Buchanan, the founders of two of Diageo's most popular whisky brands.

I mained Ashe for awhile she's one of my favorite characters and I play her often. I usually start with a Doran's blade (it has a lot of bonuses, including health and damage, so it's a good starting item) or boots and health and mana pots (mostly health pots so you can stay longer in lanes and boots for more mobility) I really don't suggest getting AS before increased damage, because Ashe hits like a wimp early game. I tried getting AS first on Ashe after my first two items and I had fast attack speed but I could do a lot less damage than if I had gotten a BF Sword or another Doran's blade (if I'm farming slowly or I'm not getting gold fast enough, I get a second Doran's blade first). What I usually try to get next is a BF Sword. It adds a lot of damage and it's a great item that gives you three other alternatives: bloodthirster , black cleaver(which adds AS /and/ damage, but get BF sword first before dagger), or infinity edge. I usually build up to a black cleaver first. Blood thirster has life steal, so I usually get that if there's a lot of physical damage from the other team. But otherwise, I get infinity edge. If I'm getting shot down too quickly, I get a banshee's veil for added health among a lot of other benefits. I might also consider a frozen mallet, but I never tried this in game. If there are tanks, definitely get madred's bloodrazor and yumumu's ghost blade (which is great on Ashe). For more survivability consider getting health and defense items that also give you added damage. It might not be as much as if you were having an Infinity Edge but at least you can survive. I'm new too, so it's not definitely not perfect, but I find that it's effective for me because by end game, as a carry should, I'm usually doing heavy amounts of damage. Oh, and here are some more tips as Ashe: your passive allows you to do an early game combo where you hit the enemy with your first shot, and then volley them. That usually takes up to half their health or more. in a team fight always, always stand in the back. i can't emphasize how squishy you are. i had to learn this the hard way plus by level 20 (i'm 23), people will be focusing you cause you're the main source of damage. use your ult a lot, because it's got a very low cool down. it has a great benefit, it can stun, and therefore it can be used to get a kill or just to help in a team fight. it can shoot across the map but be careful about accuracy cause teammates usually rage when you miss by very little, and they end up dieing
Senior Member
@ Ikrit122 I was speaking in response to the poster above me, who recommended AS as a strong focus on Ashe in items runes. Ideally, AS is one of the last few stats on Ashe, IMO. And even then, if you don't get to the AS part, you are likely able to do well anyway. I'm not saying don't auto attack in fights and wait for her crit to stack (that's just stupid), I'm just saying AS is not that great a stat on Ashe early-mid game compared to getting damage and crit chance. Ashe has one of the lowest base damage, if you attack quickly, you're just tickling the enemy. Plus, with more AD, the more damage your Volley is doing, which is very spammable in team fights in between auto attacks.
Fairly certain ashe has one of the highest base AS growths (kennen is a close second, isnt he?) AD is much much better than AS because of volley (that crit passive is more helpful than you think, at high levels it only takes a few seconds for you to get back to 100% w/ items meaning you do a LOT of damage while kiting). also would like people to explain why they disagree with me instead of -1. This isn't gen discussion, forum moves slowly, you have time to talk it out...
I would say get boots, 1 PS, 1 IE, then change your build depending on the enemy team.
Emissary of the League
O.o what's a PS? (PD, or am I just missing something?)

I play Ashe almost every game since I started playing. If there is one thing you take away from these replies and my own: 3 speed boots, always. She is just too slow with anything else! having speed will allow you to tower dive, harass, run away. That is my bread and butter.
this may be sort of late but i have played ashe a small bit and i found her to be a character who can play multiple roles you can be assist ashe that uses enchacnted crystal arrow to help stop enemies that are chasing fleeing teammates, gank ashe that slows and stuns, late game tank and/or turret diver ashe that chases fleeing enemies or holds off some turret hits while using her incredible yet not top attack speed to put out some damage, or farmer ashe that clears minion waves and becomes solid ganker/support tank late game. i have even seen scout ashes. these are all dependet on you play style and the best place to find items and stratiges to try out different roles is: http://www.mobafire.com/
Ashe is definitely support/DPS, but PLEASE do not build tank Ashe. Just. Don't. Please. She does not get innately good stats for tanking, and her passive is much more useful for a DPS build.
I am relatively new myself, I have had a lot of success with this build here: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-le...ed-games-32871 But things to note: - The quint should be arpen, not speed. It's marked wrong on the top area. - You can get multiple doran's in the beginning if you are playing mid and doing well, I.e. - first blood, a couple kills, farming hard.. I think it's referred to as 'pug stomping' at that point. - I think it's a smart move to get the black cleaver instead of that infinity edge, you can swap them in the build that is shown there - It's debatable to whether getting exhaust or flash, and switching the first point in the mastery from on the far right to the exhaust mastery. I have been playing with both, I am leaning towards going with flash as it says on the build. Exhaust is nice for locking down opponents early, but if you are like me and end up playing more of a support role, you aren't initiating or ganking often enough to make exhaust useful, and exhaust ends up being playing as an 'oh sh*t' card, more than it should be. Making Flash viable.

Very Nice!
We were in South Lake Tahoe for my daughter's wedding and rented this wonderful vacation home for relatives that were attending the wedding. It was everything that was advertised on the website and more. The house was homey, comfortable, very clean and the perfect location for many activities. Heidi was a pleasure to do business with and I would definitely recommend this home and hope to be back for another visit soon. Thanks!

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Halong Bay Small Group Adventure Tour including Cruise from Hanoi. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Pick up on time, long drive but guide was fab. The food was amazing and cruise and views fabulous. All in all a long day but some amazing views and experiences.
If you only have one day to do Halong then this is a great way to do it. Breathtaking scenery! Be prepared for the long 4 hour driving journey there and back.
Excellent - a long day trip but well worth it. I would recommend if you have time to stay over but if you only have one day this is the perfect one day trip to see Halong Bay. It was beautiful and stunning, really amazing.
This is an amazing tour. Stunning and beautiful sight seeing. The guide was very funny and nice. They are very accommodating if you are vegetarian or any type of food problem. They make sure you get something that is suitable for you.
our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. and we loved this tour I highly recommend it
The tour guide was fabulous - for a Vietnamese his English is incredibly fluent and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was also very patient with everyone - whenever we requested a photo he would happily take it for us and his photo-taking skill was great! We did many jumping shots at Halong Bay. I also like that the tour was small in number.
Although the weather was overcast the experience was amazing, the scenery unbelievable.. The seafood lunch was excellent. A fantastic value tour
Very enjoyable tour of this beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site. Knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide, and excellent food on board the boat.
This was a great trip. A long day (about 8 of the 12 hours spent traveling) but worth it if you don't want to stay overnight. Although the day was cloudy, the closer we got to the rocky formations, the clearer they were so I was able to get some good photos. Lunch was sufficient and the caves were worth seeing. It was a shame that the merchandise at the handicrafts centre was so expensive. A purse I bought around the corner of the hotel was 5 times more expensive at the centre. Our guide San was terrific and had excellent English.
Wow a definite must see, fabulous coffee break , rest area too
An amazing excursion - Halong Bay is spectacular. Our guide was awesome.
The tour was great, Tour guide very knowledgeable , good value
United Kingdom
Excellent day trip if a little bit tiring (4 hours from Hanoi) but time spent on the boat more than made up for the long journey.
We absolutely loved our tour and Thanh was a witty and well-informed guide! He was amazing and enhanced our tour with his very funny quips and good nature. We enjoyed other tour members and the lunch on board was delicious! We would highly recommend this tour... could not have been more pleased! Thank you! We will definitely book through Viator again!
Very good trip to do if you do not have much time to spend in Halong Bay. Guide was very informative and friendly and the seafood lunch was very tasty.

Second Of Two Parts—
At the Dillard's counter in Oklahoma City, Vicki Behenna was buying a beachy canvas purse for summer when her oldest son called from Iraq."Mom."
A killing in Iraq: An article in Monday's Section A about the trial of Army 1st Lt. Michael Behenna, who shot an unarmed Iraqi, misstated the age of bloodstain expert Herbert MacDonell as 88. He is 81. —
When the connection failed, she kept the phone in her hand, waiting. In the last few weeks, she had been desperately worried about him.
Michael Behenna, 25, was an Army lieutenant leading an infantry platoon on his first tour in Iraq. He had just been home to Oklahoma for a three-week leave. He was distant and withdrawn, tormented by a roadside bomb that killed two of his soldiers.
His family tried to get Michael out to reengage in his old world. They went horseback riding in the Arbuckle Mountains, hosted game nights of Scattergories and Pictionary. None of it could get him out of the storm in his mind.
In the mall during that visit, his younger brother Brett asked him a question about his platoon. Michael didn't say anything. His lips tightened and his eyes teared up. Brett had never seen him cry. He quickly put his arm around Michael's shoulder and pulled him in close so other shoppers couldn't see him. Michael struggled to say something but couldn't. He fumbled to get sunglasses out of his pocket. His mom and girlfriend rushed over, and they walked to Vicki's car, where he wept inside alone.
Now Vicki's phone rang again, and she rushed into the open mall to hear him better. Children's laughter from the play area resounded from the floor below. She could barely make out his words -- something about him being removed from his base, an investigation.
"An investigation on what?" Vicki asked.
He told her it was about the death of an Iraqi. "If they just know what happened out there it will be OK," he said.
Vicki Behenna was a 20-year federal prosecutor. As a mother, she wanted to hear every detail. But the attorney in her knew that he had to stop talking. If he made some terrible admission, there was no legal privilege protecting her from being called to testify.
"Don't tell me anything," she said.
For the next few weeks, in June 2008, Vicki and her husband, Scott, an FBI intelligence analyst, could barely eat or talk. They couldn't ask questions or get facts.
Vicki needed to see for herself how Michael was doing. She knew he needed counseling. He had tamped so much down. If only he could come home.
A dread took root like a tumor in her gut, a fear of what he might do to himself. She wouldn't form the words to give it currency. But it was there, swelling, finding resonance in the heavy hopelessness of his voice.
She asked if he was still working out at the gym.
"The person I worked out with is no longer here," he said. "I can't go back there."
